state.</p>
<p>A palette consists of three color groups: <i>Active</i>,
<i>Disabled</i>, and <i>Inactive</i>. All widgets in Qt contain a
palette and use their palette to draw themselves. This makes the
user interface easily configurable and easier to keep
consistent.</p>
<p>If you create a new widget we strongly recommend that you use
the colors in the palette rather than hard-coding specific
colors.</p>
<p>The color groups:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Active group is used for the window that has keyboard
focus.</li>
<li>The Inactive group is used for other windows.</li>
<li>The Disabled group is used for widgets (not windows) that are
disabled for some reason.</li>
</ul>
<p>Both active and inactive windows can contain disabled widgets.
(Disabled widgets are often called <i>inaccessible</i> or <i>grayed
out</i>.)</p>
<p>In most styles, Active and Inactive look the same.</p>
<p>Colors and brushes can be set for particular roles in any of a
palette's color groups with <a href="qpalette.html#setColor">setColor</a>() and <a href="qpalette.html#setBrush">setBrush</a>(). A color group contains a
group of colors used by widgets for drawing themselves. We
recommend that widgets use color group roles from the palette such
as "foreground" and "base" rather than literal colors like "red" or
"turquoise". The color roles are enumerated and defined in the
<a href="qpalette.html#ColorRole-enum">ColorRole</a>
documentation.</p>
<p>We strongly recommend that you use the default palette of the
current style (returned by <a href="qapplication.html#palette">QApplication.palette</a>()) and modify
that as necessary. This is done by Qt's widgets when they are
drawn.</p>
<p>To modify a color group you call the functions <a href="qpalette.html#setColor">setColor</a>() and <a href="qpalette.html#setBrush">setBrush</a>(), depending on whether you
want a pure color or a pixmap pattern.</p>
<p>There are also corresponding <a href="qpalette.html#color">color</a>() and <a href="qpalette.html#brush">brush</a>() getters, and a commonly used
convenience function to get the <a href="qpalette.html#ColorRole-enum">ColorRole</a> for the current
<a href="qpalette.html#ColorGroup-enum">ColorGroup</a>: <a href="qpalette.html#window">window</a>(), <a href="qpalette.html#windowText">windowText</a>(), <a href="qpalette.html#base">base</a>(), etc.</p>
<p>You can copy a palette using the copy constructor and test to
see if two palettes are <i>identical</i> using <a href="qpalette.html#isCopyOf">isCopyOf</a>().</p>
<p>QPalette is optimized by the use of <a href="implicit-sharing.html">implicit sharing</a>, so it is very
efficient to pass QPalette objects as arguments.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> Some styles do not use the palette for all
drawing, for instance, if they make use of native theme engines.
This is the case for both the Windows XP, Windows Vista, and the
Mac OS X styles.</p>

scroll bars depend on <tt>Mid</tt> to be slightly different from
